Indian Gooseberry / Usirikaya / Amla happens to be one of the best sources of Vitamin C. We were told by elders at home that even upon cooking, the nutritive value of these berries are not lost. So we were encouraged to eat these berries once in a while.

A few days back, I was craving for Amla chutney and found out the recipe from Amma and MIL too but the tragedy is we don't get fresh gooseberries around here. But I was happy to lay my hands on some frozen amla and bought them. Then came the question as to how to make the traditional pickle made back home. After a lot of deliberations, I decided to follow the recipe by PJ and made it. We were happy with the result and so this recipe is a keeper for sure.This forms part of the BM#8 for Day 6 under the theme 'Condiments'. Also check for the other marathoners here.
